Found out why I have anxiety!!!

Since my daughter 3 years ago, I have been struggling with anxiety and panic attacks frequently. It has lead to depression because of all the aches and pains I have. Along with the anxiety, I have had chest pain, horrible abdominal cramps, hot flashes, sleeplessness, body aches and pains, high blood pressure, high blood sugar and many more. I am only 36 so they wanted to find out why I am having perimenopausal symptoms. Well, I had a tubal ligation with my daughter and it is causing my ovaries to not produce enough progesterone. So, its a simple fix. My doc was telling me that a hormone imbalance in both men and women is a high percentage of the problems with anxiety and panic disorder. Just thought this might help someone here. I have been suffering from this for 3 years and am just now finding out the problem. It took thousands of dollars, but I might be able to lead a normal life........until menopause hits ;-).

I'm glad you figured out what was causing you so much anxiety, and I'm glad you mentioned it here, because I suspect that I have a hormonal imbalance. My anxiety and depression started when I hit puberty and it's been terrible ever since. If it was hormonal, that would make a lot of sense!0

kissedbytheoc,
You should go get your hormones checked out. Its a simple and inexpensive blood test. If you are anything like me, I have had expensive tests that show absolutely nothing and been prescribed useless expensive meds that haven't helped. So it is nice to finally figure out what is going on and treat it with inexpensive natural meds.0
